Dephasing of Josephson qubits close to optimal points
arXiv:cond-mat/0512701
Abstract
Decoherence of Josephson qubits can be substantially reduced by tuning their parameters to optimal operation points, with only quadratic coupling to fluctuations. We analyze dephasing due to 1/f noise for a two-level system, detuned from an optimal point, i.e., the crossover to the linear-coupling regime, both for free induction decay and for spin-echo experiments. Influence of several noise sources is also discussed.
